Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
-
Q01
What exactly does a solutions architect do?They design the technical structure of systems and digital products: which technologies to use, how they connect and how they scale. They translate business goals into concrete technical decisions.
-
Q02
When does my company need a CTO as a Service?When you need senior technical leadership but don't want—or can't justify—hiring a full-time CTO. Ideal for growth-stage startups, companies undergoing digital transformation, or projects with high technical complexity.
-
Q03
Do you work with companies in any sector?My specialty is e-commerce and telecommunications, though the methodology applies to any company that needs to scale its technology or modernize its stack.
-
Q04
What does it look like to start working together?A free diagnostic call, a proposed approach and budget, and project kickoff. The first deliverable typically lands within two weeks.
-
Q05
Do you work remotely or on-site?Primarily remote, for companies across Spain. Available for on-site sessions when the project calls for it.
-
Q06
Can I hire you for a one-off project, or only long-term?Both: one-off engagements such as technical audits or architecture design, and ongoing collaborations as CTO as a Service.
-
Q07
What's the difference between technical consulting and hiring a developer?A developer executes; a solutions architect decides what to build, how, and in what order. Technical consulting prevents costly design mistakes before a single line of code is written.
